Synapse explores: To PhD or not to PhD

The bar is set ever higher to get a job in the Danish life science industry; therefore it is important to optimize your academic profile so it presents you and your skills in the best way but is it worth spending three years on a PhD?

The bar is set ever higher to get a job in the Danish life science industry; therefore it is important to optimize your academic profile so it presents you and your skills in the best way. Some people chose to do this by researching a subject in-depth to obtain a PhD while others go directly into the industry after completing their Master's degree.

To shed some light on what the different choices can mean for your career Synapse invites students and new graduates to an evening of discussing ‘to PhD or not to PhD’. There will be two professionals without a PhD and two with to talk about their experiences, why they made the choices they did and what they now look for when hiring. Furthermore there will be a HR manager speaking about the strengths and weaknesses of the different paths. The evening will offer some different perspectives and options to help you along the way in making your decision on whether or not to do a PhD.

Full programme to be announced in week 4, and registration opens on 5 February 2017 - find more information by clicking on "Tilmeld".
